Since the 17th century the chest of drawers has become one of the most functional pieces of furniture. The piece continues to survive generations with little change to its original architecture. The chest of drawers provides a great deal of storage and has been used throughout history, from Jacobean aristocrats to the average american colonists. Today, even with the abundance of closets, chest of drawers are still widely used; there's always room for a solid chest.
